        Really depends on where you draw the line on processing I guess.

        Cooking? Killing? Seasoning?

        There’s a popular dish in Thailand; กุ้งเต้น Goong Dten “Dancing Shrimp”; made of tiny whole live shrimp seasoned with lime and chilies.

        Arguably less processed than a raw oyster
        Also, arguably more processed than a raw oyster.

          I think puritans will say unprocessed is live unseasoned.

          I have tried raw oysters once and found that they are only palatable when cooked, as swallowing a ball of slime was not easy, and lemon did not help at all.

      Sure, but there’s a world of difference between a steak and a slice of Billy Bear mystery meat.

      There are different degrees of processing. The “meat” mentioned here is ultra-processed garbage. Cutting out and grilling a steak is similar to digging out, peeling and cooking a potato.
